- In this video, I’m reimagining Pokémon from a new angle - taking the original top-down pixel art format and "rotating" it into an isometric perspective!

This can become a series remaking other iconic places from the original gb game, like gyms or other routes, even a combat in the forrest with metapods, that would be awesome
That's a great idea, I'd love to explore different colour palettes for that sort of thing too! :D
@@BJGpixelI'm looking forward to the possibility!
@@BJGpixel please do it im inspired to try pixel art again because of this isometric video and i really would love to see more
@@BJGpixelhow about in order of where the player goes in the game, like next could be Professor Oaks Lab, then like the Pokémon Center and Pokémon, followed by Brock's Gym, etc.
@@BJGpixel Please do it! This video made me so happy!
To anyone who is trying to build a video game with isometric graphics: real isometric (120° angles) and video game isometric (2:1 lines, which ends up being dimetric and not isometric) are not the same thing, so definitely work things out with your artist beforehand (speaking from experience here hahaha)
As a person who doesn’t plan to make a video game ever, this was very interesting information!
Thx man
I wanted to make a game with isometric graphics, I only managed to make the tiles and not the characters idk why but it's kinda harder to do
true.
26.565° is the magic angle in 2d space (or 63.435°, if you prefer)
in 3d space... that gets a bit more complicated.
@@ColdsterColdyI can imagine! Would drawing the character in a box help?
I will forever think how goofy it is to have the tv in the MIDDLE OF THE ROOM! Imagine having the toilet be in the middle of a large room.
The isometric view really hits different this is beautiful
I deeply appreciate that you identify the trainer as Red and not as Ash, like so many others do. Shows that you really do care deeply.
dude real!
looks more like gold to me lol
This one has such a homey feeling to it, the cramped form factor really does give it a unique flavour of nostalgia! ✨
While watching these isometric videos, I always have a fun time seeing the objects move around the room and remain in scale. It never gets old!
Also, I liked that you pointed out the technique adding a bit of depth to the walls - it really does make it look like a slice of a space 😁
Thanks! It'd be fun to see this form factor in an in-game scenario; being able to walk around all the objects with depth etc. And yeah, the most fun part is arranging the room after having made all the objects, just placing tables and chairs being like "wow art is so easy!" 😅
Seeing you layer the blocks to construct the furniture is weirdly satisfying
I absolutely love that you added Poliwhirl as yet another reference to Pokémon Adventures.
Always my head canon Red starter Pokémon.
Wow!!!
The way you made the bedroom it feels so alive! It has so much personality I kinda want a Pokemon game stylised like that it would be absolutely charming ❤
I agree. If we got gen 5 remakes in this style I would die
Oh my, I was about to scream about the tile pattern being wrong after enlarging the room since it seemed like it was going to be left that way but the end result has it fixed. You have no clue how relieved I am
Ohh I love this! It really does look like a bedroom now, I've always found it so strange how spacious the original was 😂❤
The pikachu design is adorable! Amazing job one again
Now we just need an isometric remake of the whole game :D
love the addition of poliwhirl at the end. I know you mentioned the manga as an inspiration for your red design, but i still always love more direct references to the manga like that.
That's beautiful. That cramped room just looks very cozy and nostalgic for some reason, i know this is gonna sound insane, but it looks delicious, and the palette just ties it all together.
This feels like looking at a game boy version of Lan's room from Mega Man Battle Network, especially that computer!
Ah that's what I was thinking, so familiar.
this is why i clicked on this video, very mmbn
You make this look so easy! Next time I get the urge to start making pixel art again, I'm gonna start by studying your isometric stuff I think
Definitely check out the “Modular Isometric Pixel Art Tutorial” video it’s where he goes in a bit more depth about the premade cube carving method he uses for the furniture here
Cool! To me it's amazing to see how comfortable you seem to work in such a limited color palette, while creating very readable objects. I guess that the many hours of practice with monochrome palette (and other minimalistic ones) really pays off :) Great result!
I'm glad you added a chair in front of the desk - it bugged me that there was no place to sit there :P
so excited for this one! would love to see more isometric videos out of you!
This is awesome! I'm super happy with how it came out, and the way you reused the modular isometric blocks like you did in yout other video was super satisfying.
That looks so good man! The size adjustments/cloning parts and seeing it suddenly transform into objects and creating depth was also really satisfying to watch. Nice video!
Watching your videos with your narrative is so relaxing and mesmerising 😊 Awesome artwork as always
Thanks so much dude, always appreciate your view as well! :D
@@BJGpixel 🤘🥰🤘
I just recently started with pixel art and finding this channel was a huge game changer. I have learned so much in just the couple weeks from watching this and a few other channels and I can't thank you enough!
Oh man, I was literally thinking about watching your other isometric pixel art a few hours ago so I could get some inspiration on how to do things for a Pokemon related project. Guess now I've got the perfect video for that!
I'm always excited for a BJG upload, the final result looks amazing!
This end result was SO cute, and the commentary really informative and approachable! It definitely makes me want to try my hand at both pixel art and isometric art again sometime soon!! I hope you make that video about isometric character sprites!!
Splendid! And fairly smooth workflow, it feels like you've done this piece before, before you filmed it, it was so good right away. Or that practice really shows now. The animations are so cute. You're getting ridiculously good at this!
Great demonstration of techniques, I also tend to use building-blocks when making certain isometric objects!
Another valid technique is creating isometric shapes by stretching 2 isometric lines between 2 "flat" shapes (EX: Circles, to create an isometric cylinder)
Or in the case of complex objects like Red, I stretch reference isometric lines across parts of my object, I can use such a line to make sure the feet are isometrically-aligned for example, as well as the hands.
Amazing! I love youe tutorials, they're always so helpful. Thank you for making them
Great video Mr. Greer, you certainly have a love for quality!
The only thing i would have added was that the approach taken also draws inspiration from games like "MegaMan Battle Network" or even Classic JRPG's (i think that would have added to the level of quality and consideration of this project - still a great end result though!)
Im very impressed with how much information you can put into a small space, and have it look so good and readable at the same time. Amazing pixel art, here.
"It's actually just neat to see things from another angle like this". Pun of the day!
Your isometric and spritemaking videos are so inspirational, i've never had the patience to fully finish an isometric piece despite trying so many times but this series genuinely makes want to go back and do them again ^^
red is a maniac who has his feet towards the wall and his head towards the room when he sleeps
Absolutely LOVE your workflow. Using blocks to get the right size for objects is actually genius!
You just gave me SO much inspiration! For my art in general, and I also want to try isometric pixel art myself. Thank you!
fantastic work as always!
This looks so _gooood!!_ The lighting is spot on
Oh this ticks *all* my boxes!
Amazing work as ever! I must try it myself one day.
Lovely work as always dude
really awesome, I have had a kick for drawing isometric art this last week and your older videos have been amazing.
Oh, this looks beautiful!
I love how you made the staircase and the bed specially!
Really interested in that upcoming Isometric character design video
Amazing as always!
So cool ❤ omg the animations!
I love your videos and seeing the way you re-imagine different things. It always makes me want to try out your techniques. This one makes me want to revisit all the modular blocks I made awhile ago after that video had dropped. I really like how you used that system to build this room!
Your videos always make my day better thank you so much for making them!!
Absolutely beautiful. You truly are a master of your craft.
been doing a lot of pokemon stuff lately and ive been thinking of doing an isometric room from pokemon xD this came out so good! always love the animation at the end as well
Thanks! Ooh would love to see that, you've always got great details in your settings ✌😊
You always do justice to the source material in projects like this. Great work, Brandon!
I just wanna say this is one of my favourite channels on RUclips.
This is a really good way to remake famous classic pixel scene as practice. Thank you for sharing full work process!
This is clean as hell ngl. Kudos!
Awesome work of art, man!
This video is really good. Loved every bit of it
The town map being wrong is the only thing that will bother me, but if it was a game you'd see the correct map close up anyway. Great work!
Wow.. Dude, that's amazing. Genuinely impressed and I just found your channel. You have a new subscriber in me, can't wait to see if you do more of these for different locations. Well done👍
wow! A pokemon remake in this style would be awesome! Man, you are a wizard!
I see many other artists creating great pixel arts, but what your creations are so convincing!! From a technical point of view, I could image this as a DX version of the original GB game, for example. That's the type of game I could imagine Nintendo doing 25 years ago, adding a special chip to support more sprites.
Awesome work man!
this is awesome! i love the manga look for red and that his poliwhirl from the manga is there, i recently started reading through all of pokemon adventures so im glad to see it getting some love here
Wow you work is amazing!! :-O I really learn so much from you, thanks :D
This is really really well done. You’ve definitely earned a subscriber.
Really cool to see that building block idea! If I ever get around to making pixel art, I'll reference this video!
Looks gorgeous!
This is so cute n lively! I love it!
This is easily way better than the original. Should’ve always been like this! Good job
Even just watching you lay out those blocks at 3:31 was extremely satisfying lol
Animations in isometric are *chef’s kiss*
Love this, as always. I wish you'd this full time.
Well this is lovely. Nice work!
Just going to keep pure and simple, I really like this video, well done 👍.
You're the reason I want to get into pixel art. I love the isometric format.
Looks amazing!
masterful, love it, more!!
I would love love love to see more of this, emerald was where i started, so it would be amazing to see in this style
Very cool video, always very inspiring
Instantly earned a subscriber. Great work.
Bro, you are amazing. it makes me want to go back to study game development so you could create the art work for it hahaha
turned out stunning :D
This looks nice and cozy, I want to move there! You're a magician!
this was awesome! would also love to see a few more of your video series in an isometric style (detective boy)
This gave me battle network vibe
Do the whole game please.
It would be so cool to see your Pokémon chilling in your room
Amazing one!
You suggested you might do a tutorial on isometric characters. I would love that! Your modular isometric tutorial made such an impact to my workflow, and this video was a great reinforcement. Thank you for continued work!
I love this idea, a whole remake of Red/Blue like this would be neat!
we need more of this mr. james
Omg i need more of this ❤
Your building block hack is so good, even if you’re not a pixel artist. I use an art program that doesn’t have an isometric ruler, and this will really help
That looks so so so good! I'd imagine the reason they never tried it at the time was because of how time consuming it would of been too make it look so good. Can't say from experience or anything. But still they could make new games like that.
The algorithm pushed me away from here for a while but I'm so glad I'm back
now i want a pokemon with this style...its so refreshing if these were the new games instead of the rehashed games we always got yearly
also: wouldve been perfefct if pikachu is the fat pika og style
this is so cool! you should totally do this with other iconic locations from the first few generations of Pokemon
YT algo brought this up and I was like ... meh, whatever ... but then I watched and it hit different. Didn't know I need this and most importantly MORE! This was amazing! 🤩
this looks so much fun !! *_*
the building block method is brilliant!!
That's what I call a perfect video!
Please do more of this!! Would love to see some isometric Zeda redraws!
You're off your bloody tree, this is incredible!
Mighty fine work
I love this look so much. I struggle with drawing in isometric but I really want to practice because it looks so good.
